“Our coach has been here for several years (nine), but he's never won a game at the national championship, so we want to play as hard as we can to get him one.”
Tim Lewis
“I've coached him for four years, I've been here for nine years and I've been in coaching for 15 years and I've never been around a player who has worked harder than Matt. He plays every sport and in every game, every single practice, in the weight room, he is always trying to make himself better.”
Kevin Lenz
“I think if Coach Welsh was still coaching there, it'd be different, ... I'm nine years removed.”
Tom O'Brien
“In 12 years of coaching, including nine years here, I?d never seen an overtime game. Now I?ve seen two.”
Scott Shaffer
“Me, my coaches, we're just all dumbfounded to what happened in that inning. You can't give a team nine outs in an inning. I wish I knew the answer.”
Shawn Reynolds
“We won the first game of a nine-game season. Those other seven are gone.”
Marty Schottenheimer
“He's the best. I've had nine different coaches since I've been in the NBA, and he's the best by far. He's great with the players, but he has accountability with everyone. I've been impressed with everything he does.”
